Verdict

Even Keel and Axel Jacklin probably set the standard but there are question marks against both. The Johnston colt is starting to look vulnerable after five starts while the former, twice runner-up to Urban Icon, has to overcome a wide draw. The latter still makes plenty of appeal but a chance is afforded to GHOST QUEEN. She appears to have secured the plum berth in stall one but has been slowly away on both starts and a similar scenario here could see her shuffled back into an unpromising position. However, she should be more streetwise after a couple of runs and is a value alternative against the form choices. One To Go showed definite signs of promise on debut and seems sure to progress while Great Scot rates an interesting newcomer for the Dascombe team.
